Interesting that the Navajo and the Cherokee are the two biggest tribes with the Cherokee being slightly larger.

And while both have the Corona virus it, the Navajo who seem to be taking the brunt of the infections.

In April, the Navajos had 321 people infected. At the same time the Cherokees of Oklahoma had 11 people with it. The Cherokee are closer together and near several bigger towns and cities,yet their rate of infection is smaller. I cannot find newer data yet.

Have you ever been to Gallup or the Rez? A lot of malnutrition, alcoholism and diabetes. A lot of drinking out of the same jug.

I have no idea how the Cherokee live, but I grew up next to the Navajo reservation and for the most part those that live there choose to do so because they want to follow traditional Navajo life. Many do not have electricity or running water.

These videos explain the issues.

Obviously they got it from the blankets the Indian Agent gave them. Darn White Man!

. . . with the Cherokee being slightly larger.

Not certain where you get your information. There are three federally recognized Cherokee tribes: the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians (UKB) in Oklahoma, and the Cherokee Nation (CN) in Oklahoma.The population of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, by its own count according to its records, is 240,000. The Eastern Band of Cherokees' population is 16,000, and the population of the United Keetoowah band is 14,000 for a total of 270,000.

The Navajo Nation population totals 332,000.

IIRC, a much larger percentage of the Cherokees are authentic Christians.

Interestingly, the Dineh {Navajo} live very spread out. Even families within clans tend to live far apart. They have lived social distancing for centuries. LOL.
